What to expect on Galveston Beach – Galveston Beach loop from Galveston

This route largely follows the famous Galveston Seawall, which holds the Guinness World Record for America's longest continuous pedestrian walkway.

With only 38 feet (11 metres) of elevation gain, it's a relatively easy and accessible path, suitable for all skill levels looking for a consistent coastal run.

Planning your visit

This is a highly popular route for both locals and visitors, so expect company, especially during peak times.
